My eyes squint whenever I take off my high-power glasses, and I can't wear them outside. Is there any way to treat squint eyes without surgery? Would contact lenses help with this issue?
Yes, there are non-surgical treatment options for squint eyes, and contact lenses could be one of them, especially if your squint is related to a refractive error. Vision therapy, eye patching, and prism glasses are other non-surgical approaches. If your squint is caused by a refractive error (like nearsightedness or farsightedness), wearing the correct prescription glasses or contact lenses can help align your eyes and reduce squinting.

my left eye has sph 6 and cyl 2.75 while my right eye is sph 5 and cyl 2 can I still get laser surgery to correct my vision
Yes, it's likely you're still a candidate for laser eye surgery (like LASIK) even with your prescription. While your prescription is on the higher end, many procedures can handle prescriptions up to +6 diopters for farsightedness and -12 diopters for nearsightedness, as well as astigmatism up to 6 diopters. However, individual cases can vary, and a consultation with a qualified eye surgeon is crucial for a personalized assessment of your suitability.
